Online education in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is growing, but few studies assess its impact on patient outcomes. More research is needed to evaluate clinician behavior changes and patient results from these interventions.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Online Learning
- Pediatric Critical Care
Background:
- Online education has rapidly expanded, especially post-COVID-19.
- This review examines online educational interventions for healthcare professionals in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the current evidence base for online education in PICUs.
- To report on the utilization of online education within the PICU field.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of PubMed-indexed publications from 2005 onwards.
- Inclusion criteria focused on online educational interventions for PICU healthcare professionals.
- Full-text review of selected articles to summarize study aims, design, and results.
Main Results:
- Eight studies met the inclusion criteria from 1,071 initial articles.
- Diverse online modalities were used, including websites, modules, videos, and simulations.
- Studies targeted residents, nurses, and multidisciplinary teams, primarily assessing satisfaction and knowledge gain, with limited patient outcome data.
Conclusions:
- Few studies evaluate the impact of online learning on patient outcomes in pediatric critical care.
- Significant opportunities exist to assess the effects of online interventions on clinician behavior and patient results.
